“There's nothing wrong with Ellen. It's just that she loves too much.” We watched “Leave Her to Heaven” with our friend Emily Ollero Jones from the podcast “Female Driven,” and we're still trying to figure out a way to get Gene Tierney that Oscar. This Technicolor psychological thriller really has everything: melodrama, film noir, allusions to Greek mythology, and most importantly… that face! Not a soul can clock. Gene Tierney is really serving it up throughout this movie, and we just have one thing to say - congratulations on that face. Gene's femme fatale portrayal of Ellen sets the standard for Black Widows for years to come. Let's face it - Ellen Berent Harland threw herself down the stairs so Amy Dunne could, well… “Gone Girl” herself. So many “women's pictures” owe a great debt to “Leave Her to Heaven.” Would we have Divine's impeccably decorated Baltimore home in “Polyester” without it?

It's been a decade since David Fincher's adaptation of Gone Girl hit our screens and sent waves through society. Amy Dunne was villainous, vengeful, and… also kind of relatable. And while the story was grounded in its era, it's in many ways even more relevant today. So let's take a look back at the film, how its commentary on splits of the self, existing in the public eye, and the problem with the media all fit into our current world, and why Amy's wrath still connects with audiences.

Gone Girl begins our 2nd (Probably) Annual Revenge Month as Rosamund Pike plays a narcissistic sadist who wants vengeance on her lazy, cheating husband. Ben Affleck plays that husband, a very-flawed man who has to deal with tabloid "journalists" as he tries to figure out why his wife is missing...and possibly dead. David Fincher's mystery movie has its faults, but it's well-made (of course) and it shows off the savage determination of Pike's Amy Dunne, especially in the last 20 or 30 minutes. We tried to sort through Gone Girl's confusing climax, although that section also has some of the funniest things you'll see in any thriller. So put on your baseball cap (we didn't even bring up THAT silly Fincher/Affleck stalemate!) and mope your way through a charmed life as two people hate each other, but they find a way to make us enjoy all that in this 580th episode of Have You Ever Seen. Well, Actually: the proper pronunciation of Gillian Flynn's first name is a hard G, similar to "gone" and "girl". Also, the editor who typically edits Fincher's movies with Kirk Baxter is Angus Wall, although he didn't help cut this one.

Happy Halloween! To end our month of murder mysteries, this week Stauney and Sadie delve into the riveting realm of two iconic characters, Amy Dunne from Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl" and Scarlett O'Hara from Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind," uncovering the eerie parallels in their psychopathic behavior, and the infamous stories they play the title role in. We discuss the differences and parallels in their stories, sharing the plots of the books/movies and the impact that their portrayal of womanhood has on how we view feminity and the society of their time period. We also talk about the general idea of unlikable or villainous female characters, the rarity of psychopathy in women, and the ways that their motivations can be dissected to garner sympathy despite their outlandish actions.

If you enjoy this episode or any of the episodes still to come across this weekend, please do consider donating via the link below: Donate to our fundraiser here!Gillian Flynn is an author, screenwriter and showrunner who delights in writing what she calls “bad women” – fascinatingly flawed female characters who she grants the freedom to kill, lie, harm and harass in a way that sometimes ruffles feathers. Take her 2012 novel Gone Girl, for example, which she later adapted into a smash hit movie with David Fincher. That murder-mystery tale of a marriage steeped in deceit captivated the world and sparked near-endless conversation about the poison and/or empowerment of its main character, Amy Dunne. That novel and movie – released within two years of each other – didn't just make Flynn a literary darling. It also catapulted her to the summit of film and TV. In 2018, she co-wrote the brilliant Widows with Steve McQueen, and adapted her first novel, Sharp Objects, into a gloriously slow-burning limited series starring Amy Adams. Since then, she's won cult acclaim for her streaming adaptation of Utopia, the British Channel 4 series. In the conversation you're about to hear, we ask Gillian how she pens her captivating characters and the social importance of allowing women to run riot on-screen and in her novels, the way that male anti-heroes are frequently permitted to do. She reflects on the accusations of misogyny that her work attracted from some female writers in the aftermath of Gone Girl's release and reveals an alternative ending to that story that would have taken the tale of Nick and Amy Dunne in an entirely different direction.Again, this conversation is in aid of the Entertainment Community Fund, who do extraordinary work lifting up storytellers of all descriptions and have been a vital support for entertainment industry workers affected by this summer's strike action.

Alice and Bethany have the great pleasure of talking to the film journalist and programmer Anna Bogutskaya about her new non-fiction book Unlikeable Female Characters! They take a dive into the world of 'unlikeable' women through film and TV from erotic thrillers to Skyler White via the Hays Code and Amy Dunne from Gone Girl.
On this episode of Complicated Conversations, we welcome Anna Bogutskaya to discuss her non-fiction debut, UNLIKEABLE FEMALE CHARACTERS: The Women Pop Culture Wants You To Hate. The book traces the evolution of highly memorable female characters, examining what exactly makes them popular, how audiences have reacted to them, and the ways in which pop culture is finally allowing us to celebrate the complexities of being a woman. Sounds right up our alley here at PFW! We chat with Anna about our shared mission of examining women as three-dimensional, fully-fledged human beings and discuss some of our favorite, ie most relatable, of the “unlikeable” female archetypes: the bitch, the angry woman, the trainwreck, and the shrew. We discuss some fan favorite characters like Shiv Roy, Fleabag, Skyler White and Amy Dunne! Unlikeable Female Characters is out now!

In 2007, aged just 17, Amy Dunne was forced to go to the High Court to fight for her right to travel for an abortion, after a scan revealed that the baby she was carrying had a lethal abnormality and would not survive. From then on Amy became known as ‘Miss D' and found herself at the centre of Ireland's bitter abortion debate. Now in her 30s, Amy has written a memoir I Am Amy Dunne, reflecting on the culture of shame that she and many other Irish women have lived through. She talks to Róisín about the trauma she endured as ‘Miss D', what she has learned from it and why no-one should ever have to experience what she went through. I AM (MISS D) AMY DUNNE, written by Amy Dunne, with Orla O'Donnell, is on sale now See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
This week we hit you with a STAPLE of the "True Crime" genre. Before Scott and Lacy Peterson...there was Nick and Amy Dunne. Both were writers from New York whom both lost their jobs in the 2008 recession (Thanks Dubya!!), and had to move to Nick's hometown in Missouri. After a few years of marital bliss, things started to turn south when both of the couples' parents fell into financial and medical peril. Nick took to the bottle and a new side chick and Amy desperately tried saving their marriage by introducing the idea of having a baby. However, this enraged Nick and he went down the road of mental and physical abuse...until one day....on their anniversary none-the-less...AMY WENT MISSING! All signs pointed to NICK as the media (IN PARTICULAR NANCY GRACE) convicted him in the court of public opinion and had nick MURDERING HIS WIFE ...and....UNBORN CHILD!!! But wait...there a twist to this story, actually TWO TWISTS!!! Did nick do it????

Topics covered : Alcoholism, fatal fetal abnormality, abortion, induced labour, birth trauma. In this bonus episode I speak to the incredible Amy Dunne.In 2007, a 16 year old Amy was pregnant with a baby girl who had a fatal fetal abnormality. At the time, Amy was in the care of the HSE, so she told a social worker about her plan to travel for a termination after finding out the devastating news. And although she was supported by her family and by the baby's father, she was told by the HSE that it wouldn't be possible for her to travel which then led to her situation being a case in the High Court.In this conversation we speak about her childhood changing from idyllic to chaotic, the ups and down of her relationship with her mother and ultimately the unbreakable bond they share today, and how her strength and bravery ignited a social revolution to repeal the Eighth Amendment of the Irish Constitution.We heard about her at the time as ‘Miss D' but today we hear from the woman herself and it's a raw and powerful listen.Today she lives in Drogheda with her teenage son Adam and she's estranged from her father.

Tune in as comedians and podcasters Johnna Scrabis and Sabrina B. Jordan (Mean Book Club) join the show to unpack their thoughts and feelings on 2012's Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn (Dark Places, Sharp Objects). What is quite possibly one of the most iconic examples of domestic noir—you could also just call this genre “psychological thriller”—to have been published over the past decade is reaching its 10th birthday this May, so it's fitting that 2CC is finally diving into all things Nick and Amy Dunne, Cool Girls, and deeply toxic marriages. Along the way, the hosts also try to figure out what Gone Girl-esque movie starred Casey Affleck, determine the difference between sociopaths and psychopaths, and compare Desi Collings to You's Joe Goldberg.

Ford, author of Cottonmouths and Real Bad Things, talked with us about how Bridget Gregory became the template for the empowered, kinda evil female neo-noir characters to come.

Hey guys! Welcome back to another episode of I've Been Meaning to Watch That. This week, Glenn and I talked about unreliable narrators. We talked about the manipulative mind of Amy Dunne and how she punished her husband for being an ordinary man and how Eternal Sunshine is one of the most realistic romance films ever made. Glenn talked about his love for the 90s film Perfect Blue and I break down the plot of Christopher Nolan's Memento.

Mikayla and Roxanne talk about the unlikable female characters Amy Dunne from Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl and the ensemble cast of Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies. In this episode: Can you match the decade to its widespread cultural fear? Is "chick lit" an acceptable moniker, and who gets to read it? Is it ever okay to judge a book by its beautifully rendered artwork? And why is "Gillian Flynn Hill" (that's Gillian with a G, Flynn with an F) the site of our greatest skirmish?

Feedback The Sweeney Sisters by Lian Dolan (rec’d by Megan) Alastair MacLean: The Navarone series, Where Eagles Dare (rec’d by Wynnde) Questions 1. Something that I’ve been very interested in reading about is the strong bond between people forged by unique experiences. Some examples of this in literature that I’ve enjoyed are the characters in Never Let Me Go who are bonded by their childhoods and their shared horrific destiny or Ask Again, Yes who are bonded by being childhood neighbors as well as a shared tragedy. I even enjoyed this about the Hunger Games and the way the shared trauma of the games forged a tight bond between the tributes. I’m looking for other novels that have these very intimate bonds between characters brought about by certain circumstances. Other books I’ve enjoyed that also have examples of these sort of bonds: The Mothers by Brit Bennett, Commonwealth by Ann Patchett and A Children’s Bible by Lydia Millet. Thanks! -Emily 2. Hi! I’m looking for a recommendation for a friend’s birthday. She just finished The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix and has been raving about the housewife superpowers angle it takes. I’d love to get another book for her in a similar strain. She also likes the Amy Dunne of Gone Girl type of genius-borderline-crazy female characters in any book/TV show/movie so it can also lean in that direction. Thank you!! -Carol 3. I just got a new job that is for a company based in Belgium. Eventually after Covid I will get a chance to go out and visit the main office. Can you suggest some books based in Belgium or with a general Belgium- feel (this is called Belgitude!) Thanks! -Jordan 4. My name is Andy and I’m writing to ask for three different book recommendations (all in one email hehehe). First, I’m looking for a book, either fiction or nonfiction (or both, if you can) about archaeology. It seems such an exciting field. I’m looking for a book that gives those adventurous vibes but that also teaches me something about history and what that entails. Secondly, a fiction book set in a museum. I’m looking for something exciting that makes me think, too! And finally, if you can, a nonfiction book about countries that had recovered from a civil war and how they did it. I had not mentioned before but I’m originally from Venezuela and though my country hasn’t gone through a civil war (in the strict sense), the recovery (if it ever does recover) would probably be something similar. I’ll like to read about other history cases so that, maybe, I could find some answers. Now that that “business” is done, I wanted you to know how much happiness you bring to all of us book lovers all across the globe (I’m a Venezuelan currently living in Spain). Thank you thank you thank you. Keep doing what you are doing! I love your podcast! Much much much love from Madrid, -Andreina 5. First, I just want to say thank you so much for this podcast. It’s my absolute favorite, and I look forward to it every week (and am super happy that I now get to listen twice a week). I have read some truly amazing books thanks to you! I have found historical fiction cozy mysteries to be especially comforting in these wild times. I love to read mysteries that have a strong female main character and are written by women. The only problem is that almost every historical fiction series that I’ve read has white main characters and are almost all written by white authors. Do you have any recommendations for own voices historical cozy mysteries by BIPOC women? Some historical mystery series that I have enjoyed are: The Lady Sherlock series by Sherry Thomas The Perveen Mistry series by Sujata Massey The Veronica Speedwell and Lady Julia Grey series by Deanna Raybourn The Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters The Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear The Sparks & Bainbridge series by Allison Montclair The Jane Prescott series by Mariah Fredericks The High Society Lady Detective Books by Sara Rosett The Lady Hardcastle Mysteries by T.E. Kinsey The Kendra Donovan series by Julie McElwain The Countess of Harleigh Mysteries by Dianne Freeman The Rose Gallagher Mysteries by Erin Lindsey Kitty Weeks Series by Radha Vatsal Some contemporary mysteries series by women of color that I’ve started reading are the Jaya Jones series by Gigi Pandian, An Ice Cream Parlor Mystery by Abby Collete, and the Noodle Shop Mysteries by Vivien Chien. I loved Death by Dumpling. I didn’t love Jaya Jones as much as I thought I would because I couldn’t stand how much they talked about how skinny and petite she is. I liked A Deadly Inside Scoop but felt like the main character seemed very young. -Marissa 6. I’m loving dark academia media right now, which is an aesthetic that joins dark themes, such as murder, theft, and sin, with academic settings. I read The Secret History, by Donna Tartt, in February, and have not stopped thinking about it since. I have also read The Goldfinch, by the same author, and The Picture of Dorian Gray, and loved both of them tremendously. Dead Poets Society and Kill Your Darlings are examples of movies with this setting. Could you help me find other books with a similar style? -Maria 7. Hi! Thanks for your podcast; I love it. I wonder if you can help me. I have a 7-year-old and I’m looking for a book to read aloud together as a family. We loved Thomas Taylor’s Malamander and the sequel, and we are looking for books like those–thrilling, sly, dark, funny, suspenseful middle-grade fantasies with lots of friendship and at least one girl MC. We don’t like to slog through pointless dialogue and tedious set-up. (Also, no racism, sexism, or homo-/transphobia, please–I like reading J.K. Rowling, Neil Gaiman, Eva Ibbotson, Chris Riddell, and Roald Dahl because they are so funny, but also they can STFU with their dumb jokes about Asia, queer-coded villains, and sidelined heroines.) My kid has enjoyed audiobooks of the Unicorn Rescue Society, Love Sugar Magic, Princess Pulverizer, Alice in Wonderland, Anna Hibiscus, Wollstonecraft Detective Agency, Magic Treehouse, Dory Fantasmagory, Dragons in a Bag, and Questioneers series, as well as the first Dark is Rising book. She heard the Audible sample of Akata Witch and was mesmerized (so was I) but I think it’s a little too old for her. Some violence is fine, but we’d like to stay away from heavy romance/crushes/bullying (middle-school stuff), and from really dark stuff like genocide, horrible forms of murder, any hint of sexual violence or suicide, etc. POC and queer characters a plus. Thank you so much!

We come out hot, talking about what made us cover this Netflix phenomenon, what this show did to us, how it divided us, and the one thing we can both agree on: Rege-Jean Page stole the show as Simon, The Duke of Hastings! ** Complicated Woman - Daphne Bridgerton. While we see Daphne’s inner conflict in the first few episodes, the limited circumstances of her time, and her ambition in trying to steer her marriage, ultimately we ask whether she is complicated in ways that are harmful for the innovation of women characters. (07:38) ** Complicated Supporting Women. Bridgerton presents a group of women who demonstrate that there is no one correct way to be a strong female character, but did they do enough with these supporting women? We examine Lady Danbury, the Queen, Eloise Bridgerton, Penelope Featherington, Lady Whistledown and Siena. (14:25) ** Favorite Scenes. It’s no surprise that many of our scenes involve the Duke...Simon’s backstory (23:45), that infamous and sexy spoon scene that has Twitter buzzing as much as Connell’s necklace in Normal People (27:04), and the Duke’s big speech to the Queen about his friendship and love for Daphne (28:37). We then turn up the heat and discuss that “I burn for you” scene between Simon and Daphne on their honeymoon that has inspired TikTok musicals (32:53), Siena generating her own heat on stage and with Anthony (35:05), and Daphne’s big speech to the Duke in the finale has one of us swooning and the other one rolling their eyes (41:04). ** Controversial Scenes. Bridgerton is not without controversy. We discuss the sex scene that raises serious issues of consent and the scene where Lady Danbury explains how race was intentionally worked into this, but was it enough? (46:05) ** What’s Your Damage, Heather? Phoebe Waller-Bridge set the standard for damage and Bridgerton left us wanting more vulnerability from Daphne. (56:44) ** What She Said - Julia Quinn. An Ivy League educated, incredibly prolific Capricorn, Julia Quinn has written 18 consecutive NYT bestsellers and we’re inspired by the moment she is having right now! Kate discusses Julia’s real life romantic marriage and Carinn shares a quote about how far the conversations around women, consent and power have come in the twenty years since she wrote the first book in the Bridgerton series. (57:40) ** Who Won The Show? We both are all about the look and sound of this visually stunning show! (64:29) ** Takeaways. Kate’s takeaway is that Shonda Rhimes is a genius for knowing what sells, for knowing what will be a hit, and in this particular case, for knowing that love and romance sell. Carinn faces her obsession with Daphne and realizes that no character has provoked such a reaction in her since Amy Dunne from Gone Girl. Their discussion explores the concepts of heroes and villains, true love and being trapped, and turns them upside down. MAJOR SPOILERS for Gone Girl.

We've re-edited one of our very first episodes to revisit Ani Fanelli and Jessica Knoll, one of our all-time favorite authors. *** What makes Ani Fanelli complicated? Carinn thinks Ani is a “little too good” (honestly, none of this drives her to murder?), where Kate thinks her outer smile and her inner rage is exactly what makes her complicated and multi-dimensional. (03:20) *** Ani’s best scenes. We return to our theme of being seen (hello Mr. Larsen). We also highlight the brilliance of Jessica Knoll’s ability to write biting snark. (12:00) *** We play arm-chair therapist in What’s Your Damage, Heather? An homage to the iconic line in Winona Rider’s Heathers, we discuss how Ani got to be the way she is. Her mother? Her traumatic experiences? The insular and sometimes suffocating nature of small school life? (30:46) *** We tell you What She Said, the segment where we share some of our favorite first person quotes from the author of Luckiest Girl Alive. Carinn talks about the way Jessica Knoll’s admission of the autobiographical elements of her own pain shed light on the hurt beneath Ani’s facade. Kate is fascinated by Jessica Knoll’s love of money and unabashed ambition, as well as her desire to smash the wellness industry. (35:40) *** Gaze into our Crystal Ball. Have you ever wondered where Ani ended up after the book was over? Carinn sets the primer for Ani becoming Amy Dunne while Kate sees a perfect reality TV angle for Ani. (52:20) *** Takeaway. Carinn compares her re-read of LGA to THREE WOMEN and KNOW MY NAME, examining the different trajectories a woman can take after suffering sexual trauma, and Kate wonders if she lacked empathy for Ani the first time she read it or whether the national dialogue around women has come a long way in a short time.

Early on, the stage was set for Rosamund Pike to pursue a career in the performing arts. Born to two opera singers, Rosamund had a front row seat to familial emoting. She tried her hand at both music and acting, but a bout of stage fright while playing the cello forced Rosamund to recognize that she really didn’t want to play herself on stage—she was much more interested in playing other people, where her imagination was free to roam and explore. “Acting was like diving into a place where you actually felt alive, where things felt real.” Soon after finishing college, Rosamund got her first break as a Bond girl opposite Pierce Brosnan in 2002’s Die Another Day. But playing Miranda Frost—the “epitome of icy English blondness”—in your breakout role has its drawbacks. For years, Rosamund was cast in similarly cold and confident roles, and she longed for the opportunity to do more. Enter director David Fincher, who saw something unique in Rosamund. He offered her the role of Amy Dunne in Gone Girl, and her breathtaking performance earned her a slew of awards and new opportunities to evolve as an artist in films like A United Kingdom, Hostiles, and now her latest film playing slain journalist Marie Colvin in A Private War. Her deep dive into the Marie’s life led to an intensity that was as fulfilling as it was terrifying. "You are trying to trick your brain into getting to a place where you are out of control, and that is a scary place.” But as Rosamund explains, she’s waited her entire life for the opportunity to disappear into somebody else, and in A Private War, she does just that. Rosamund joins Off Camera to talk about her fascination with human emotion, the elaborate plan she concocted to meet with David Fincher for Gone Girl, and her intimate knowledge of bone saws.
Barbi quiere formar el fans club oficial de Amy Dunne y acá te tira todas las razones por las cuales tenes que unirte. Gone Girl es lo que es por su villana, interpretada por la grandiosa Rosamund Pike (como no le diste el Oscar @ academia). Deja de ser una cool girl dale.
Dani and Aaron both love Fincher's Gone Girl, even if they have slightly different feelings about Amy Dunne. They also talk about why the book was better, the real case that supposedly inspired it, as well as Flynn's other works.

2014's Gone Girl, directed by David Fincher and adapted for the screen by author Gillan Flynn, raises a lot of questions. Is it a mystery? A thriller? An absurdist satire? Susan and Greg cannot agree. And that's marriage.Despite his initial concerns when Susan picked this film, Greg found himself enjoying the movie until the third act. Greg has a laundry list of what he feels are massive plot holes. Susan digs into the psychology and complexity of the film's villain, Amy Dunne - played masterfully by Rosamund Pike. Both discuss how excellently the film was cast and discuss performances by Ben Affleck, Tyler Perry, Neil Patrick Harris, and Carrie Coon. As always, they discuss trivia about the film, box office, and their favorite moments.Promo: Kolby Told Me PodcastResources referenced:https://www.creativeplanetnetwork.com/news/news-features/david-fincher-creating-satire-gone-girl-606914https://www.filmcomment.com/blog/interview-david-fincher/https://www.vulture.com/2014/10/gone-girls-gillian-flynn-on-cool-girls.htmlWhy Gone Girl's Amy Dunne is the Most Disturbing Female Villain of All Time | Psych of a Psychohttps://youtu.be/CdxInrVPUzg

One day Honey opens a gossip website and sees that there is speculation on whether or not she is a lesbian.

Gone Girl eller på godt og trægt dansk Kvinden der forsvandt har Ben Affleck og Rosamund Pike i de to hovedroller som ægteparret Nick og Amy Dunne i David Finchers fortættede og suspense-ladede mordmysterium af en thriller. Gone Girl er stemningsfuld, den er ond, den er stilet og lækkert skudt, og så har den et dejligt dystert glimt i øjet. Den er — med andre ord — også en David Fincher tilbage i topform. Gone Girl udkommer på dansk blu-ray fra 20th Century Fox d. 26. februar. Hør mere om filmen i podcasten og læs om blu-rayen på bloggen.

Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter - but is he really a killer?
